Ticket Resellers In The UK Promise More Transparency
. (Classic Rock) Secondary ticket sellers in the UK have agreed to provide more information to buyers after government body the Competition and Markets Authority stepped in. Websites including Stubhub and Seatwave have been mired in controversy in recent months, with people from many sectors of the music industry calling for action over the way they operate. Criticisms have included the fact that original ticket prices aren't listed alongside the reseller's rate, buyers aren't told about restricted views, and difficulties with contacting sellers over problems. Last month bands including Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden backed the Put Fans First campaign in a bid to have ticket sales laws overhauled. Now the CMA report that resellers have agreed to list original prices, state whether views are restricted, explain whether multiple bookings refer to seats beside each other, full details of additional charges and a contact email address where help can be requested.
